UPDATE: I can confirm that the Ledger supply chain is compromised in Europe as well. @Ledger should initiate an immediate product recall to protect users.
I just purchased a second device from a different Mediamarkt location today, recorded the unboxing process, and discovered spyware once again (video linked in the second tweet).
The device was compromised in the exact same manner, featuring identical modifications (such as additional cables and an LTE module). This indicates its a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident, potentially affecting Ledger inventory across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores throughout Europe (comprising over 1,000 stores across 11 countries).
My initial hypothesis was that these devices were returns that looked unopened to the employees and were just sold again as new however, a MediaMarkt employee confirmed that the device I purchased was not a return, and that returned Ledgers are sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold.
Store records show the inventory originated from Aqipa GmbH. While Ledger's CTO was unsure if Aqipa serves as the direct distributor between Ledger and MediaMarkt, it appears to be the case. Given that Aqipa distributes across Europe, any physical retail store receiving stock through them may be at risk.
I sent the first ledger to mark and the second one is going to ledger now, so that they can analyse it.
If you purchased a ledger from anyone other than the official ledger store, make sure to check your device!!
Did you know? DAI's token contract was built without a freeze function, so no one could lock DAI in your wallet. USDS, its successor in the Sky ecosystem, includes one for compliance purposes.
PulseChain community is mostly responsible for the suckery prices, not Richard Heart.
Why?
I have NEVER seen a community cockblock their own chain this much. Half the influencers block and hate each other. Some wannabe newcomer content posters block the bigger ones, thinking their noname ass would replace them, and Hexicans gatekeep literally everything that hasn’t to do with core coins.
Imagine being on a blockchain where people block and hate each other, cockblock each other, simply because they HATE every coin that they do not own.
Would never happen on any chain ever.
It‘s ironic. Because Hexicans cry about being gatekept and censored, yet they‘re the worst fascists in their own bubble.
You really can‘t make all this shit up.
I tried uniting the different camps for years, but it’s impossible when you’re getting blocked by certain parties or deliberately censored and muted.
Imagine blocking one of the most relevant KOLs on PulseChain who‘s actually pro-actively fighting for the common good by penetrating into the center of CT?
Unimaginable.
Total fools.
#PulseChain
@defyneric@LibertySwapFi then you dont need a blockchain. its the least efficient database we have. its only strength is censorship resistance (if at all)
.@adam3us called me a "scammer and con-artist."
His Bitcoin sidechain just got hacked for $320 million of BTC. How's that bag of dicks taste Adam? Adam is CEO/cofounder of blockstream btw.
P.S. PulseChain is better than your trash. Loser, lol.
Also, shout out @Excellion, @NickSzabo4 & other Blockstream hoes. Lol. Kneel.
P.P.S Magnanimus in victory.
BTW, some large portion of Bitcoin has despised blockstream for many many reasons for a very long time. It's probably the majority opinion if I had to guess. A cancer upon $BTC.
@RichardHeartWin@adam3us@Excellion yep he called every hexican a scammer too. had multiple x threads with him and he just doesn’t change his worldview.
